If anybody would like to play with this, I've just uploaded it to https://salsa.debian.org/93sam/d-i-test1 and I'll leave it up there for now. >Discussing with KiBi on IRC last night, we're thinking that it's >probably worth splitting the manual off into a separate >project/repo. I'll try doing that too, and see what we get. To make things go much faster, I grabbed a copy of the svn repo directly and I've been running with that. It goes *much* more quickly due to the latency reduction on each revision checkout, but it reliably fails with: Name does not refer to a filesystem directory: Failure opening '/trunk/installer/build/pkg-lists/netboot/mipsel/sb1-swarm-bn.cfg': '/trunk/installer/build/pkg-lists/netboot/mipsel' is not a directory in filesystem '48c42b26-1dd6-0310-b98f-a58d8bce7237' at /usr/share/perl5/Git/SVN/Ra.pm line 312 at r35516.
